McG's "3 Days to Kill" and the big-budget "Pompeii" each earn a lukewarm B CinemaScore.

Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow'sThe Lego Movie stayed at No. 1 on its third Friday, grossing $7.3 million for a projected $31 million weekend. Through Sunday, the 3D animated film will have earned north of $180 million at the North American box office.

From Relativity and EuropaCorp,3 Days to Kill placed No. 2 Friday with $4 million. The $28 million film is expected to take in $11 million to $12 million for the weekend.

Based on a story by EuropaCorp'sLuc Besson, 3 Days to Kill stars Costner as an international spy looking to give up his dangerous lifestyle and repair his relationships with his daughter and his wife. But first, he must complete one last mission, even as he looks after his teenage daughter for the first time in a decade. AmberHeard, HaileeSteinfeld and Connie Nielsen also star in the movie, which marks Costner's second spy movie of the year after Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.

Pompeii is quickly finding itself buried in ash, considering it cost $100 million to make. Coming in No. 3, the 3D disaster epic grossed $3.4 million on Friday for a projected $10 million to $11 million weekend. Germany's Constantin Films fully financed Pompeii, resulting in limited financial exposure for TriStar, which is releasing the film domestically per its deal with FilmDistrict. FilmDistrict paid for marketing.
